I think that you've confused your TL with a Chevy.

Use Photoshop and test the color on a pic. Also orange seems a bit

ricey.

Hey..., what's wrong with chevy.
I have 2 chevys.
One ran 10.8 @1/4 mile, and the other has 150K still running.

No offense but I've never liked them.

It seems like they're always breaking down.

My uncle has a 91 Silverado with low miles that he hardly ever drives and he's always fixing something on it. His daily driver is an 85 Ford F-150 and all he does to that one is basic maintenance. I know other people with Chevy's and it seems like they're always having problems. My old 94 Ford Thunderbird never broke down. The 2 times it didn't start was because the battery died. Needless to say, I'm a Ford guy.

When I decide to get a truck, it will be an F-150.

Wasn't trying to be a jerk. Just seemed like you got all defensive about chevys and it was funny. Keep in mind you are on an Acura forum, what do you expect?
